Default Odd Request - Anyone Have a Pressure Washer *see details inside*

I have some wheels that have some horrendous paint on them. I've tried everything from aircraft stripper to scotch pads and the paint is stubborn to get off. Does anyone have a decent pressure washer to blast this nonsense off the wheels? Looking to get down to the bare aluminium.

Pressure washer isn't going to do anything to paint. You need to get them sandblasted.

wait a sec. you used aircraft paint stripper and it didn't take it off?
you sure you used legit aircraft paint stripper? and you did it right?
I've seen finishes that took a few treatments and a little elbow grease, but for it to not do anything makes me wonder
